HOCKEY TIME!

I love hockey.  It is fun to watch, fun to play, and the skills are different than many of the other skills we use throughout the year, which makes it an exciting, new challenge for us!

Its been a few years, but hockey is officially back in Goodrich PE! We started our hockey unit last Monday the 4th where we spent the week working on stick handling, passing, shooting and goalie skills.  This week was all about games!

The older students use plastic hockey sticks where the younger students do "Noodle Hockey."  While we are still working on spatial awareness and controlling our bodies, the noodles are much safer to play with.  I create 3 hockey rinks in they gym using mats so we can play small-sided game and the kids get lots of action!  Heart rates are up and everyone leaves sweating!
